We recently started building segmented wood hoops and I’ve been screen printing some new hoodies, Still not finished my kit but you know…. it takes time to make beautiful wood crafts.

These guys are trying to cut out the middle men from the music industry and do it them selves. Basically what your getting is an amazing album and the knowledge that your actually supporting the people that gave up their personal time with wives and kids and friends and jobs to produce this beautiful labor of love. For one dollar ( Count em one dollar) You could own this Gem!! Ill let them further explain the details:

Today we made more progress on the floor tom and we are starting to really think hard about our milling jig, we’re going to get a proper jig welded up with dials and fancy knobs, so today we milled the drum down with the router on top and i must say this is the way to do it. I have been fooling around with “mirror” finishes and that’s coming along nicely also been messing about with wood dye that is some potent stuff!! Got a nice pie of Purple Heart for a future snare drum and finally organized our drum parts. All in all it was a good productive day, enjoy some photos:

In the process we rounded out the inside of the 12×12 rack tom looks like we are well on our way to completing the first kit!
